How would the rabbis welcome a jewish prophet girl ?

in #idf7 years ago

Wouldn't it be nice? I love the idea... you know Jesus style, who would answer their questions in a way they would know.

I am just curious of the reaction of the rabbinical world? I guess some would smile and others?

Why should there be opposition? I mean of course some may have cognitive resistance or even strong resistance toward her, but they would all know...

on sure, things... no failure this time :)

just for clarification it's an idea that I find super fun :) how not to love such a girl :).

Sort:  

Would any religion accept a modern prophet ?

When was the last time that such a thing happened?

Apparently a bunch of christians are waiting for Jesus second's coming but how would they know the guy(or girl) is not just crazy ? Miracles ? Was there ever such a thing as miracles ?

I don't think being a girl would change anything.Religion is a special construct made for certain purpose.
Why is there no lasting religion that were founded by a women or had a women prophet ?

It's not because of the patriarchy, it's because men have been much more involved historically in creative writing. What happen when you mix creative writing and the desire for more power over a gullible uneducated population ?

Closest thing to it was probably Jeanne D'arc that led the french revolution and claimed to be guided by angels and stuff.

Jeanne D'Arc has been overused politically.
The real history (without all posterior alterations, political recuperations leading to the rewriting of her story) might be a bit more modest (if there's only a single notable fact remaining).
And yes that was during the "Guerre de Cent Ans" - Hundred Years War (1337 - 1453 but it wasn't a non-stop war, be reassured) - a Civil War in France opposing les Valois (French) and les Plantagenêt (British-backed) but it was essentially during the Revolution and the Prussian Wars that her image was used.

And for your question @sweecee, I think she'll be welcomed with insults and stones :D But even a male prophet would finish the living in the streets, everybody thinking he's a madman.
